The Opuntia Microdasys rufida is a beautiful and delicate disc cactus. The Opuntia Microdasys rufida occurs naturally in Texas and northern Mexico. The Opuntia Microdasys rufida produces oval leaves that grow on top of the existing leaves. Due to the large number of shoots that this Opuntia produces, it grows into a beautiful compact bush.

The leaves of the Opuntia Microdasys rufida have a dark green color and are covered with brown areoles. These areoles all contain small spines. Although it appears that this Opuntia has no spines, it has small hairy spines that remain in your skin. Even though she looks cuddly, don't pet her.

When the Opuntia Microdasys rufida is happy with you, it will produce beautiful, 5-6 cm yellow flowers. The flowers usually grow from the upper leaves of the cactus.
